As someone who has used CircuitMaker a lot id say don't even bother with it and use KiCad instead.

Since KiCad v6 I can't think of anything CM does better, on top of that the CM forums are full of spam and it seems obvious that Altium have effectively abandoned it.

I switched when KiCad 6 came out and haven't looked back - I can have as many custom parts I want and I don't need to upload my design to the cloud to generate gerbers, I also don't miss the characteristic exception errors that CM would throw all the time

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give KiCad a whirl then.
